Me and the Boys had the grand fortune of supporting my bro Donald Glover the man ya’ll all know as Childish Gambino,on his London leg of his European tour.And boy was it an experience,the first night presented us with some steep sound issues but after riding it out we still enjoyed a memorable experience both as performer and audience.The second night went up a whole new level,in fact we clocked this game.After vibsing a wicked set at CAMP and getting heavy love from the gambino-with regiments of Josh Osho supporters army,we had to jump on the bus and leg it to Camden Barfly,to perform another set,and however short,as we had to make it back to CAMP in time for ANOTHER performance,i had a great time,i felt a lot of love in the room and in an acoustic set with just me and my 2nd guitarist we shared a moment :).Back to CAMP it was,and running on borrowed time,we managed to get back JUST in time for the ensuing encore,at which point me and Bino shared the stage on my upcoming single on which he features ‘Giants’ (Release date April 23rd) it was a massivee marker on my journey thus far and capped an awesome 2 nights,the crowd were showing an abundance of love and bino shut it down as always!!!I wanna thank EVERYBODY who came down and enjoyed the music,shared the love and helped make the nights what they were.Im sure ill be seeing some of you again soon!!
One Love
So this is Mos Def’s (or in fact the newly crowned Yassin Bey’s) first instalment of his Top 40 underdog series.A compilation of Reworkings of Top 40 tracks,but instead of its original concept,he will be injecting, a la Mos Def,a social consciousness into each remix.It warms my heart to know we will have a barrage of Mos Def (Im sorry bro,i cant get used to Yasiin Bey yet) material for the forseeable future,and a well needed respite from a whole load of ‘not saying much besides,money money money,bitches,swag,swag,money,YOLO’ rap.Hopefully a little bit a Mos Def well wake these clowns up.We appreciate music is to be interpreted and created relative to each individual,by no means am i saying everyone become a conscious rapper,but it seems that such wholesome,informative and thought provoking (sounds like Hip-Hop to me?) music has fast become a rarity in the mainstream.
Welcome back Yassin Bey.

Amongst many in 2011, I had the opportunity of meeting an inspiring talent when he landed in UK from the US for a few days. For hours we sat talking, music, life and as is a custom now…Nandos! I now have the exciting and heightened blessing of linking up again with him, supporting the man we all know as Childish Gambino on his Tour when he comes over this January!!!
I woke up this morning,and i can say,OFFFICIALY,i had the best nights sleep in my whole 20 yrs of life.I dreamt the great #14 scored a classic placed shot into the far right a la Le Henry Classique on his return debut to the Emirates,after only his 5th touch of the game…..If only ey….
Josh introduces us to his brand new cover video series called Take Two.
“The 1st episode of Take Two is a combination of Old Skool and New Skool. For their time OutKast always represented the inventive left of centre New Skool and I feel as a creative not just an artist Mr.Misfit fits the bill perfectly! Helping me reinvent an Old Skool classic… Don’t you!”
This year has once again been another episode of growth for me,i feel like,as i depart the year 2011,a hugely transformed Josh Osho,relative to the one who entered 2011.So many beautiful lessons have been learnt,some in my parochial perspective at times,difficult to digest,but none the less superlatively enlightening.I feel as an artist,as a son,as a friend as a young man,as any role i need to embody on my earthbound journey i am better equipped and a sight more in touch with the essence of ‘me’ i only hope and work towards more growth and more insight in the New year that approaches.I have had the blessings of eating so many wonderful people and building new relationships aswell as continuing to enrich those that i have had the fortune to possess.For all my followers and supporters.Forgive 2011 and if you can only do one thing for #2012 ‘Love,and do what you will’
